Born Lev Valdemarovich Nusberg in 1937 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Soviet Union. Son of a German victim of the gulag and a Tatar mother. He graduated from the Moscow Art School (MSKhSh, 1951-58). The eye-opening for him was the Picasso exhibition in Moscow (1956). He formed the Dvizheniye group (1962-74) whose members included Francisco Infante and Viacheslav Koleichuk among others. The aim of the group was to create 'bio-centric' systems called Igrovye Bioniko-Kineticheskie Sistemy [playful bionic-kinetic systems]. A charismatic leader, Nusberg attracted people, but some members of the group (particularly Infante) found his management style 'totalitarian'. The group disbanded in 1972, and he founded the group Dynamik in Leningrad. Nusberg emigrated to the United States in 1976, and led a hermetic life in Orange, Connecticut, afterwards. He moved from kinetic art to surrealist painting, and keeps rewriting the history of the movement. He died in 1992 in Orange, CT, USA.
